Ghost Town

Chernobyl, Ukraine is a ghost town. Swings sway aimlessly in the bitter wind, missing the warm touch of a little boy or the bubbling giggle of a school girl. Empty houses that are no longer homes stand vacant, their roof’s sagging inwards with despair. In the air hangs a pungent stench that leaves that numbing burn on your tongue; like after you eat sour worms, only more acidic. Bars, fairgrounds, schools, shops all stand with no purpose. Valued architecture pleading for something, anything, a whisper in the wind or a sudden scream for help. Emptiness, nothingness and pity coated every wall of every building, every floor of every house, every pane of every window. Nothing lives here, no bacteria or bugs or birds. The only thing that this abandoned town will ever hear are the faint sobs of the spirits that inhabited this once beautiful civilization.

I am fairly sure it was Chernobyl that I saw a program about, showing how nature and wild animals etc. are beginning to re-inhabit that ghost town, slowly turning what was a dead zone into a living area for some plants and animals
